as a superfan i am entirely deserving of this prize! plus, my dashing looks and charismatic presence would grace Vegas (and Ms. Kardashian) like no other gamer has. however, i am not on facebook… oops. no postcard entry?

A very nice sweepstake, but again almost only US. I guess you thought it too exspensive to get a return plane ticket for one of your non american fans, should they win? They aren’t that costly, but ok it’s your choice. I hope you give out som lovin to your fan around the world. Personally i would like to see competition for the EU given your increasing number of offices there and I’m sure the gamers from other parts of the world would like to see something come their way too

I can’t find the facebook page to take the quiz… I’ve been on about 20 different fallout pages, and none of them have the option for me to do the quiz. yes I live in the US. Can somebody post a link with the exact web address for the correct page please!!!

Once again, another very inaccurate sweepstakes….. ‘Grand Prize’ and ‘First Prize’ always throw in things that you’d never want, such as go to meet some pointless celebrity, or far worse…. leave your house!

‘Second Prize’ once again has me with my fingers crossed, an XBOX360, Fallout: New Vegas Collector’s Edition, and 1600 MS points! No Tshirt…. hmm… I suppose it’s okay since when I’m in my Vault-Tec preservation-pod/ fallout shelter I’m only allowed to wear my jumpsuit… Such a confusing order of prizes for such an antisocial sociopath-recluse such as myself, but I’m positive that I or one of my other four-hundred-twenty-two Facebook alternate personalities will win this prize, or perhaps it’s time for number four-hundred-twenty-three…
